At my old house I had this exact problem. I built a screen. Here's what you need:
As screen kit
A piece of plexi-glass
Some clear caulking
Assemble 3 sides of the screen kit, but turn the bars so that the slot that is normally for the rubber spline faces inwards. That slot is were you will slide the plexi glass. You will need to file down the corner connector pieces because they're only meant to connect in the other direction. You will then need 2 pieces of the same size for the other end of your screen frame. One piece will hold the plexi glass in place and the other piece is for the air conditioner window piece. Use caulking between the plexi glass and the screen.
This will work on a normal sized window, For a narrow window like you have, you will likely have to make a more complicated screen.
